End the "Stay and Pray" strategy in Iraq and end "harmonious relations" with jihadis

I think world jihad should be cause to "interrupt harmonious relations." It appears that Bush doesn't think so. His financial aid and attempts to build democracy are making matters much worse and the real war against Islamic totalitarianism hasn't started yet.

We need to disentangle ourselves from the "Stay and Pray" strategy in Iraq and continue on to end the threat from world jihad. Bush's altruistic WOT is doing exactly what one would expect: it's hurtiing Americans and wasting time and money. Every day, the jihadis are making full use of our altruistic (others above self) weakness: as an advantage, their suicide bombers are nothing compared to this moral failing of the West.
